The story

La Table des Pères, Piré-sur-Seiche – Michelin-Starred Dining at Château des Pères

A gastronomic experience within a living work of art

At the heart of the Domaine du Château des Pères, just 25 minutes south of Rennes, La Table des Pères is the estate’s flagship fine dining restaurant. Awarded a Michelin star in 2026, it offers a refined French cuisine that draws on the best of local and seasonal produce. The restaurant is part of a remarkable 31-hectare estate that includes a 4-star hotel, a spa, and a permanent sculpture park with over 60 monumental works—a setting that blends heritage, contemporary art, and gastronomy.

The setting: history meets modernity

The Château des Pères traces its origins to the 12th century, but its current incarnation is the result of a meticulous restoration by the Legendre family, who acquired the estate in 2011. The dining room at La Table des Pères reflects this spirit: elegant, intimate, and connected to the surrounding landscape. Guests can explore the sculpture park before or after the meal, where works by contemporary artists are scattered through the wooded grounds—a prelude to the creativity on the plate.

The cuisine: rooted in the region

While the menu changes with the seasons, the philosophy remains constant: respect for ingredients, precision in technique, and a lightness of touch that lets the produce speak. The kitchen favours fresh, locally sourced products, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement each dish. The Michelin star recognises not only the quality of the cooking but also the harmony of the entire experience—from the welcoming service to the serene atmosphere.

Beyond the table

Dining at La Table des Pères is part of a larger visit. The estate also offers the casual Le Re-Père restaurant, a greenhouse café, and event spaces for private gatherings. For those who wish to linger, the hotel L’EssenCiel—with its avant-garde architecture and suspended rooms—provides a unique overnight stay. The combination of a Michelin-starred restaurant, a sculpture park, and a spa makes this a destination in itself, a place where French cuisine is celebrated in a setting that nourishes both the palate and the spirit.
